Written Question
Incinerators
Monday 18th October 2021

Asked by: Jeremy Corbyn (Independent - Islington North)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

Answered by Jo Churchill

In line with the commitment in our Resources and Waste Strategy (RWS), officials are currently assessing planned incinerator capacity against expected future residual waste arisings so we can understand what future capacity may be required following implementation of key commitments in the RWS. This assessment of residual waste treatment capacity needs will be published in coming months.
